me - full of confidence strong like a brick wall me - assertive strong like a powerhouse me- productive passion creativity boy i feel great except for what others see. worry - others feel i'm over-confident and my decisions may be dangerous. others - see my assertiveness passing into aggressiveness others - don't enjoy my creativeness when i think it's so funny and there is nothing funny about it others - don't enjoy energy, when i talk nonstop, and i'm loud. then comes the other side of being bipolar now my confidence turns into a mist, easily blown away. shame fills me when I realize again i drove people away. sadness fills my heart knowing there is no hope that this cycle will ever end. sadness that even though i know the symptoms it doesn't change me my energy slows down suddenly just keeping up with my laundry seems impossible my question to myself am i bipolar or am i debbie?
